OK, I found the correct 'tab' to be depressed. It is not obvious to me but after many tries, I finally found it. Thanks to those who tried to help but the 2020 is definitely different than the 2024.

Honestly? Bumpers. Not cheap, no, but probably the easiest mod. A few bolts, unplug some connectors, then do it all in reverse. I think it actually took longer to install my mudflaps than it did to swap the front bumper 😆

I've done dead pedal, mud flaps, steps(Mohave X with rock rails) and tonneau cover. All easy.

Need to do this one for the short term. I have a 2x6 in the garage that’s ready to go in. Once I button up some other projects and the weather works with me I’ll go take some measurements and have my boy run the saw. Trying to get him off the videos games as much.

Every jeep owner will find out eventually. Your sun visor will fall out of its socket. Don't know if that was fixed by your 2025 model
For me, 2020's visors needed the fix from the get-go. My wife man-handles the visor like it's an unruly toddler. Like the woman has a vendetta against it.

For my 2024 JT, all systems go thus far. The man-handling continues (God-forbid sun near her face), but so far so good (knock on freakin' wood).

Hood struts. Took 10 minutes to install. Easier, quicker access when you pop the hood. I’ve done a ton of upgrades (lift, wheels/tires, SmartCap, bed liner, molle panels, KC light bar, ditch lights, etc.) and I can’t believe I didn’t do this earlier.

The Gatekeeper mounts have to be my favorite easy mod

Like this mod a lot, but wonder if you have a photo or video you can share of the light they throw while turning at night. Do they really make much difference? Also, did you wire this up to an Aux switch to turn off and on at will?

I wired to aux switch 1 but that’s due to the amperage draw of the KC’s No night pictures but you do need to have a stubby bumper or about 3 inches of lift for them to be any benefit

I installed some and they curved my hood.

I've the factory bumper with the end caps off so should be good. Thanks for the info!
